OT-Take this Jung Typology Test, post your results.

I think this thing is pretty accurate, and provides more useful information than the typical "where are you on the political spectrum" test, in that it may provide more isight into WHY you are where you are.

INTJHave original minds and great drive for implementing their ideas and achieving their goals. Quickly see patterns in external events and develop long-range explanatory perspectives. When committed, organize a job and carry it through. Skeptical and independent, have high standards of competence and performance

You have distinctive preference of Introversion over Extraversion (67%)

You have moderate preference of Intuition over Sensing (38%)

You have moderate preference of Feeling over Thinking (38%)

You have slight preference of Judging over Perceiving (11%)

I've taken similar tests before, firstly when I was studying psychology at high school and then again when I was at university (studying Software engineering, not psychology - the psychology students shared the same campus). I like some of Jung's ideas, particularly the semi-mystical elements such as the collective unconscious, but in my view this particular 'test' is bunk.

Care to explain why? I found it pretty close. Apparently my type is only 1-4% of the population.

I love the myers-briggs test. Took it a couple years ago as part of career counseling, got a bunch of print-outs and info about it, along with the types of careers I'd be happiest doing (it pointed out that just because some job it listed is at the bottom of the list does not mean that you can't be highly successful at it). I generally come up as INTP. You're doing yourself a disservice if you're answering the questions based on how you want to be perceived.

ENFJs are the benevolent 'pedagogues' of humanity. They have tremendous charisma by which many are drawn into their nurturant tutelage and/or grand schemes. Many ENFJs have tremendous power to manipulate others with their phenomenal interpersonal skills and unique salesmanship. But it's usually not meant as manipulation -- ENFJs generally believe in their dreams, and see themselves as helpers and enablers, which they usually are.

ENFJs are global learners. They see the big picture. The ENFJs focus is expansive. Some can juggle an amazing number of responsibilities or projects simultaneously. Many ENFJs have tremendous entrepreneurial ability.

ENFJs are, by definition, Js, with whom we associate organization and decisiveness. But they don't resemble the SJs or even the NTJs in organization of the environment nor occasional recalcitrance. ENFJs are organized in the arena of interpersonal affairs. Their offices may or may not be cluttered, but their conclusions (reached through feelings) about people and motives are drawn much more quickly and are more resilient than those of their NFP counterparts.

ENFJs know and appreciate people. Like most NFs, (and Feelers in general), they are apt to neglect themselves and their own needs for the needs of others. They have thinner psychological boundaries than most, and are at risk for being hurt or even abused by less sensitive people. ENFJs often take on more of the burdens of others than they can bear.
